Already reaching a climax after just two songs -- “Domino” and “Hide and Seek” -- the concert worked up fans even more with vocalist Jung Yong-hwa taking center stage singing the signature “Loner.” The band’s unique way of creating electric sounds with synthesizers added variety to the music.
After the intro with three songs and a ton of energy, Yong-hwa took the mic to introduce himself and other members of the band: Lee Jong-hyun on lead guitar, Lee Jung-shin on bass guitar and Kang Min-hyuk on drums.
“I cannot see any empty seats. Let’s kill the night like there is no tomorrow!” exclaimed Min-hyuk.
Jong-hyun added, “Let’s enjoy the night to the fullest because you never know when our next concert will be.”
After the brief talk, Yong-hwa took his spot in front of the keyboard and started playing “Can’t Stop,” showing off the musical talent of the vocals.
“I will play this song with all my heart for you,” said Yong-hwa.

Especially the song “Hero” was written by Jong-hyun, who referred to the song as something for his Mom and Dad, his own heroes.
Other songs, including “Irony,” “Stay Sober” and “Realize,” also released in Japan, marked a total transition in the atmosphere with slow, gentle rhythms and sentimental lyrics.
Almost to the end of the concert, the band performed another exciting set list including songs like “Holiday,” “Catch Me,” “Cinderella” and “Radio.” The particular song that received wild enthusiasm was “Cinderella,” which was released in September on their second EP album and won as many as five awards for their TV broadcasts.
A very responsive and enthusiastic audience sang along to the music, making for an atmosphere full of heat and excitement.
